The Exam
Did you know that the Fire Protection P.E. Exam ranks as the 3rd most difficult exam to initially pass? Aside from the twelve required references comprising ten volumes and over 6,000 pages, the exam spans topics that most fire protection engineers don't even work in regularly. If you're like me, you also probably don't want to study for three years either.
We built the PE Prep Guide to help you pass the exam. It has shown to propel those studying for the exam weeks (if not months) ahead in preparation.
This Guide saves you time. How? By providing consolidated, well organized, critical references to important pages throughout all of the reference materials, many thoroughly worked practice questions, and now a full self-study schedule with suggested study content.

This Prep Guide contains:
+ Over 150 of the most frequent formulas, explained
+ The PE Roadmap; a full self-study schedule with assigned reading and practice content

Feedback Received
We sent a survey to every user for the 2017 and 2018 exams and every single respondent (62 in total) who used the PE Prep Guide said they would recommend the MeyerFire Prep Guide to a friend. Here’s what they said:
"The MeyerFire PE Prep Guide was my most used book in studying and during the exam."
"MeyerFire PE Prep Guide provides equations that are easy to locate and does a great job clearly laying out each input to the equation and where to find that value, if not already provided. In conjunction with the practice problems, absolutely worth the money."
"I would and have recommended the Prep Guide. Having so many relevant equations in one area, grouped by topic saves so much time, which is vital on a test with such a tough time constraint. Just as valuable as the equations themselves is all the information that is listed like units or tables to find needed inputs. The equation sheet really puts to rest any fear of misusing or misapplying an equation. Also, having 100 practice problems and 80 additional problems is a fantastic part of the prep for this exam, which is known for not having a lot of resources available."
"From my experience, the Meyer Fire guide is the best review material that I've used."
"The consolidated equations in the Meyer book are SO helpful. It was also so helpful to have references to the handbooks for each topic/equation. Meyer was my starting point for nearly every question on the exam."
In 2019 and 2020, over three-quarters of all examinees used the MeyerFire PE Prep Guide to prepare for the exam. Compared to self-reported sales from other publishers, the MeyerFire PE Prep Guide is now the best-selling Fire Protection PE Prep Book.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a physical or digital book?
A: This Prep Guide is a physical, 388 page hardcover book ready for studying the exam.
Q: Can I take this guide into the exam?
A: No, since 2020 the exam went computer-based and only the required reference materials are allowed in the exam room. This prep guide helps you prepare for the exam.
Q: Is the 8th Edition (2024) PE Prep Guide different than the 7th Edition (2023) PE Prep Guides?
A: Yes, but the 8th Edition is only a minor updated from the 7th Edition. We've updated all of the Errata (www.meyerfire.com/errata) from the 7th Edition, clarified questions, updated the schedule, updated the tips, and updated the NCEES Reference Guide references. Those who have the 7th Edition are more than enough prepared and would not need an 8th Edition.
